George Jacob Tweedy (8 January 1913 – 23 April 1987) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He played 347 league games in a World War II interrupted career spanning 20 years.

[2] Born in the rural mining town of Willington, County Durham, Tweedy first played for Durham Schools and then his hometown club Willington F. C. He made his debut for Grimsby against Bradford City on 19 November 1932 upon the replacement of Read, the regular goalkeeper, who had a broken finger.

This led to six consecutive seasons in the top division, two FA Cup semi finals, the club's highest ever league ranking as fifth and Tweedy winning his only England cap.

He returned as a player for a small time period in late 1951, before finally retiring on 3 April 1953.
